GROWING stout.

Washington, Nov. l5-Especially the
ladies who have called at the white
aoase during ths esst week hase ro.
mafked the growing corpulenoy Of
president aud Mrs. Cleveland. They say
that each has fattened TO tho extent OF
at least % pounds siuos the fist OF Sep.
tember, end The president has become
really stout.
When Mrs Cleveland was married she
weignea a little less than 1870 pounds,
and OWING to her height did not appear
TO be that heavy. There are those OF
ner friends WAC have seer her daring
the past week who say that she
sisl tllt the beam at ITO, but these fig
ures are ID little high. Mrs. CleyeIsnd
seldom drinks wine or any other stima-
liant. She only ants a brisk walk to
star up her appetite for breakfast or
lunch, and If she cannot go out doors
she rambles about the house. A servant
says che often runs up and down stairs
two steps at q time, and can swing her
arms behind her back like those of .
windmill, ana that she is the most agile
woman OF her size in the CITY. Mrs.
Cleveland is fully as tall as her husband.
and although she has developed into u
woman of serious thought. she can enjoy
a ffolic as much as any body, and when
she attends the theater, which is often,
she has no scruples about lauhging hearth
ly when she is amused.
The president grows corpulent from
natural causes. He would get fat on
bread and water, yet he does not live
on suoh transparent diet. he can eat
as large o beefsteak as o rail-splitteF,
drink his three cups of coffee for break
fast with his pancakes and rolls and
syrup and the eteeteras which make up
d good breakfast. He does not take half
as much exercise ss Mrs. Cleveland.
He never hurries. He walks slow end
with deliberation. Sometimes he takes
two moves to each etep III going up
stairs. When he and his wife return
from n drive she invariably helps herself
from the carriage and runs ahead into
the house. If 1t is out to Red-Top, abe
one-hofse vehicle, and then beats him
into thu house.
A good many stories have been
printed about the presidents diet,
Some OF them have grains OF trnth, but
most OF th6m naVe Deen eSagRefRGioDS.
He is not q gormandizer. but o healthful
eater. He is q big man. possessed Of
splendid digestive organs, aud he
satisfies his desire, rs far as he can
without gormandizing. His complexion
stthis time, the brightness of his eyes,
and his growth show that his liver, blood
and stomach are in good order, which
could not be if he overloaded his stomach
every day. The president likes q bottle
Of ale or q sniff of something stronger
with his lunch or dinner, and ls cape
ciaily fond of q bottle of beer before re-
firing at night. He says they assist d.
%geation and produce ease of the nerves.
In any event the president and Mrs.
Cleveland are growing so stout that it
can be observed even as they drive
through the streets.

retired, leaving the door unlocked for q
third party, who sleeps In another bed
In the anna room. These two were soop
asleep and about nine O'Clock the third
party retired. Sometime after this the
burglar entered, and getting Redfearn's
pants, took tIerefrom q wallet contain.
ing $3.50 IN currency, o mortgage for
$1,000 and two notes which together
amount to $1,000. This was ell Red
fearn possessed, aud while the mortgage
and notes can not be of vaius to the
thief, the money 10 petfeetly good. Mr..
White. who sleeps With Redfesrp, had y
silver watch, valued at about $40, taken
and he had $500 in his pants pocket
which was luckily overlooked. The
thieves then went to another room, and
took from g farmer sleeping there o
